Solution

The correct option is A $N a_{2} O_{2}$
The white solid is $N a_{2} O_{2}$ . A piece of red litmus paper turns white when it is dipped into a freshly made aqueous solution of $N a_{2} O_{2}$ This indicates the bleaching action which is due to formation of hydrogen peroxide.
$N a_{2} O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O ⟶ 2 N a O H + H_{2} O_{2}$
If $N a_{2} O$ is present instead, then its aqueous solution would turn red litmus blue due to formation of NaOH
$N a_{2} O + H_{2} O ⟶ 2 N a O H$ (blue towards litmus).
